"Even though" tells us that something was achieved against
expectation, considering the situation:
<even though> <condition> <surprising fact>
<Even though> <I was only three years old,> <I could ride a bicycle>
or
<s uprising fact> <even though> <condition>
<I arrived on time> <even though> <it had been snowing>
"Even if" has the same structure, but introduces a prophecy, not a
fact:
<even if> <you don't buy me a present> <I will still be your friend>
"though" has different meanings. In one sense, it can be used in
place of the second "even though" above:
Though I was only three years old, I could ride a bicycle.
